Reason for Recommended Action/Background

On July 27, 2021, the Board adopted Resolution No. 21-98 proclaiming the existence of a local drought emergency. Drought conditions have persisted since that time and the drought emergency continues despite recent storms. On October 19, 2021, Governor Newsom issued a proclamation extending the drought emergency statewide and further urging Californians to step up water conservation efforts as the western U.S. faces a potential third dry year.  The Board received its most recent drought update at the November 23, 2021, meeting. The Board will recieve the next drought update from staff at the February 8, 2022, regularly scheduled Board meeting. 

Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)

Staff have, and will continue to, collaborate with the YCFC&WCD, the YSGA, the Water Resources Association of Yolo County, all in-county water purveyors, the general public, and state and federal agencies.
